A more exciting sequel. It has a better story, more entertaining and easier to sit through. It still feels overly long and would be nice if it's length was cut down. The "new" breed of vampires and the way it was presented (as in, vampires were just humans with a virus) felt more intriguing and it served to flesh out the backstory a little bit more. The villain kept your interest (unlike the first film) and the pacing better. A negative would be your typical sidekick type character, Scud, where he was predictable, annoying and unnecessary. There feels a slight change in tone with more gore (but it is still restricted to minor scenes). The fight scenes noticeably include some special effects which ruins it somewhat. It is still not the best movie around as it feels too boring during some scenes.
